Wow! And...10% goes to Lambda Legal. Such a deal!
Did you buy anything for a that special person?
No. My special person prefers Tiffany's, as she told me the other day when
we passed the local one.

We shopped at Tiffany's last year. My wife enjoys necklaces and
bracelets, and once or twice a year she considers it a treat to
acquire some upper-end costume piece selling for several hundred
dollars to maybe something just into four figures. She obviously has
humble tastes, or she would never have married me.....


""Are you nuts?" she replied. "That's going to cost more than either of
us would be comfortable spending. Yes, it's pretty but we need to be
find something closer to our nornal price range."


No offense, Chuckster, but you ought to stay away from "dialogue." I'll
bet dollars to donuts your wife doesn't speak so stiffly.

Hey Harry - why not find something decent to say? Is it so hard?

I think donuts go for about $1.50 each, so I think that was a
complement.

I apologize. I thought your compliment was a 'jibe', so to speak. How
ignorant I've become since my surgery.

I thought it was just old age, but I guess if you can use surgery for an
excuse that is better.

By the way, did you know the mind is the 2nd thing to go?

I just hope my mind goes before I run out of Metamusil. At least then I
won't know that a problem exists!

Okay, I'll bite, what's the first thing to go?

(Note that two weeks ago, when you first presented this line, no one was
nice enough to bite.)

The word you want is "compliment," not "complement."

Please. Chuck is a perfectly decent writer, but from what I have seen
here, his weak area is dialogue. Dialogue and quotes happen to be two
of my strongest areas.

I'm sure Chuck's wife said something similar to how he quoted her. He
just didn't capture her.

Well, Harry, as you've no doubt told us, your opinion is invaluable.
